Im not sure what the difference is between our phones but I am able to choose to back up between the internal or external and can mount either of them and can choose which one to install from. I can see both and access both sdcard and was running AOKP when I flashed the TWRP over CWM.

it is running great on my blaze! Im not a dev so i have no clue as to why. I did not wipe anything when I flashing TWRP. just flashed and rebooted and into AOKP just fine then rebooted into recovery to backup and flashed Slim rom.

---------- Post added at 11:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:08 PM ----------

I guess I was wrong. I just went back in and double checked myself it shows the option for internal sd but when I choose to mount it with TWRP I get my external 16 gig instead. so I guess that is what your getting too??
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] sidneyk:
Yep, tried changing it in the mounts and there is a checkbox I think in advanced with unmount sdcard checked and it wouldn't let me uncheck it. I just have to remember to move anything I want to flash to external first and especially before wiping anything. I made that mistake with a CWM recovery on the tf101 and wiped everything, expecting the new ROM to be on external, and that one could only see internal so I had to find another way to flash an OS to get back online.

[EDIT] Just for clarity, I checked again and what I see is in the install option, when I click on 'Use external', it switches to /sdcard and shows everything on the external microSD card. When I click on 'Use internal', it switches to /emmc, but shows me an empty directory. I can go up a level and see things in the / directory of the internal memory, but changing to /sdcard directory still shows the external microSD and there isn't any directory pointing to what would normally be 'sdcard' where the Download folder normally is.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Racing19969:
What I would need to figure it out - is from the tf101 I need their BoardConfig.mk file to see if I can figure out the TWRP mount points.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] sidneyk:
I'll try to grab it from his github and post a link or something here. Wish I knew more on the development side, but I know about enough to be dangerous.

[EDIT] Here you go:

https://github.com/ViViDboarder/android_device_asus_tf101/blob/ics/BoardConfig.mk
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Racing19969:
Thanks, running a build right now and will let you know how it turns out...

updated OP with the following:

There doesn't seem to be an easy-to-use interface to mount the internal sdcard (emmc) - but you can still do it. Go into Advanced, then Terminal Command, select / as your starting folder (working directory - just hit select it'll likely be there as default), then type in the following:

/sbin/mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p28 /emmc

Then when you back out of there and get to the Install area, you can switch between the internal and external. Hope that helps!

Re: TeamWin Recovery Project TWRP Recovery V2.4 Blaze4G

Glad to see I'm still helpful :)
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Racing19969:
Yes you are.... I remembered you posting this back when I built the first TWRP recovery.. THANKS
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dwitherell:
No prob - I'm just happy I could come up with something useful from time to time :)

And fwiw - your build was my first experience with TWRP and I have yet to look back, so thanks for getting this together!
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] sidneyk:
@Racing19969 - I unpacked your zip file and unpacked the recovery image with Android Kitchen and made just 1 change to the /sbin/postrecoveryboot.sh in the ramdisk to make it look like this:

#!/sbin/sh

# 0: charge
# 1: direct
# 2: recovery_enter
# 3: recovery_end
# 4: download_end

sleep 3
echo 3 > /dev/block/mmcblk0p12

#mount internal sdcard
/sbin/mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p28 /emmc

# Enable USB mass storage
echo 0 > /sys/class/android_usb/android0/enable
echo adb,mass_storage > /sys/class/android_usb/android0/functions
echo 1 > /sys/class/android_usb/android0/enable

Then I repacked, rezipped, pushed, flashed, rebooted to Android, rebooted to recovery and from 'Install' I can see both external sdcard from external button and 'emmc' from internal button and don't have to try to remember the command, and even worse, to type it in each time. I was looking for the least intrusive and easiest way to do it without resorting to trying to rebuild the whole thing. Now I can get to the 'Download' folder if I forget to move something to the external card before rebooting recovery. I am posting this for your consideration as I don't know for sure if it messes anything else up. Thanks again for your efforts.

[EDIT] I have changed the info above to match what actually worked. I accidentally left the change in the postrecoveryboot.sh when I thought I had reverted it to test the recovery.fstab change I spoke of earlier, which actually does nothing by itself. The command added in this script does work. Sorry everyone for the confusion.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Racing19969:
Definately works, Thanks for the fix.... Now I just need to figure out how to add it to the recovery build process..

UPDATED OP.. NEW BUILD UP WITH INTERNAL/EXTERNAL MOUNTS FIXED... HUGE THANKS TO SIDNEYK
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] woodyjlw:
You must be a busy busy Dev! Many thanks for the updates!

AWESOME!
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] sidneyk:
Assuming you're building with cm sources, as per the instructions, it seems to be pulling the 'postrecoveryboot.sh' from 'android_devices_samsung_msm8660-common'. You could try to make the change there (at least for your local build repo) or maybe there is some other device specific file somewhere in the process to echo that 1 line to the file just before the build? Just ideas, I haven't done much coding since the days of BASIC and that's been a while back.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] sidneyk:
Possible wipe issues?

I've been playing around with a few different ROMs since rooting and noticed yesterday that I had hardly any space left because there was a bunch of stuff from previous installs still there that I thought I wiped out in TWRP. I was getting ready to flash PACman JB again and went into TWRP to try and wipe as much clean as possible and noticed some errors and looking around in the file manager it didn't seem to be really wiping much. Factory reset probably cleaned some data out, but otherwise stuff was still there. Can someone else test and see if this is the case, especially if someone is well versed with Samsung's file and partition schemes. For now, I'm back with CWM which does seem to get rid of stuff, even the external sdcard, if you aren't careful. :(Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] woodyjlw:
I am going to flash the lates AOKP back on and I updated twrp the other day and I have cm10 on here now. I want to back up my cm10 to my external 16 gig before I flash the new AOKP. What can I do to help?

just give me the instructions/how to of what you need and I will do my best to help.

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] jbats:
@sidneyk, another sure fire way to clean out unwanted junk and caches is go into settings/storage and erase SD card. This clears out all files leaving the bare minimal and most of your Google apps. I only had to reinstall about 8 apps, but my problem was saying I had no USB storage due to gallery,pics etc. . Nothing was there to delete, erased SD, problem solved plus got rid of all those extra folders I didn't know if I needed or not.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] anactoraaron:
Using the newest build 1/26 did my first backup and the recovery rebooted prior to the backup finishing. The second backup went ok. Just wanted someone to know. I don't know if this is an issue with the 2.4 alpha or not, perhaps it is. I believe the backup stopped when generating the md5 for the data partition. If it happens again I will post what exactly went wrong (I was getting ready to leave when it happened).
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] billa:
Yes I can confirm that there are random reboots, and also the internal file sys is not mounting, it keeps showing the external SD regardless which one is mounted. Just wanna add that the internal file manager does show both correctly only when I mount it and try to browse it on the computer is when there's an issue. Im running plain stock ics.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Racing19969:
where are you looking for the internal file system? works fine for me.. in recovery you go to advanced/file manager/emmc and there are your internal files

also, what random reboots? explain what you are doing when these happen?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] woodyjlw:
I had a random reboot when wiping cache once and just had one when tring to name my backup. was naming the backup AOKP and it froze at AO and rebooted back into recover, I just tried it again and it let me finish naming it and it completed the backup and 5 seconds after it finished the backup it rebooted into recovery again. I had another reboot when trying to browse files.

Everytime it has rebooted it takes me back to recovery.

lol I have it sitting in front of me while im typing this and was not touching it at all and it just rebooted recovery again without doing anything to it at all. I am starting to think it dose not matter if your doing anything at all it just dose random reboots on its own. battery is 94% and this is 3 reboots in 10 minits in recovery.

im running v2.4.0.0alpha I have not had any isuse with flashing roms and I have two backups now one named CM10 and now AOKP but I have not tried to do a restore and I have both of them on my external 16 gig.

now TWRP is froze and wont let me do anything. none of the touch options are working and I will have to remove battery to reboot it froze after last that third random reboot. I still like this better than CWM and dont plan on going back and ill ride this out till it is figured out. it may be my phone should I try downloading a fresh copy of TWRP and flash it again?

this has all happend in the time it has taken me to type this reply.

thanks for the hard work and hope any of this helps :)
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Racing19969:
very interesting.. when did you download twrp? have you downloaded my newest build that I posted? I can sit in recovery and nothing happens. no reboots.. just sits there. maybe try another download and install and see what happens??
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] woodyjlw:
I downloaded the the 2.4 and flashed it over the older twrp I'll download it fresh again and try it and see what happens. it may have been a bad download. I downloaded it right after you updated it to 2.4 besides the reboots that is the only thing that its done to me I can go into advanced and see files on emmc or external sd.

should I do any wipes or just flash TWRP in recovery and reboot?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] woodyjlw:
downloaded TWRP V2.4 flashed it and it had an error but rebooted before I could see what the error was so I flashed again and it was successful so I powered off the phone and removed battery and then booted the phone back up to AOKP and then rebooted to recovery. everything seemed ok and I played around in recovery browsing emmc and sd too make sure I was seeing both and then I went to settings and went to set timezone and random reboot before I was able to set timezone to central. the random reboots are only thing I am seeing it do. but since im not a dev I dont know if there are any other things that need looked at.....random reboot dose not bother me.....its nothing I have a problem with and it reboots back to recovery when it dose. I am happy with it so far and dont see any reason to go back to CWM

want me to try anything ells?

Thanks :)
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Racing19969:
I will look in to the random reboots.. must be something with the new 2.4.0 version..
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] billa:
As you can see others are having random reboots too, it happened to me while the phone is just sitting there no even touching it in recovery mode for about 3 minutes.

As I explained in my earlier post i CAN see the internal and external files thru the built in file manager, BUT when I mount the internal memory and try to browse it thru my computer it just shows the external SD card files, whether I mount the internal or external.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Racing19969:
I don't use windows so i didn't understand what you meant at first.. When connected on a windows system you can'tbrowse the internal sd? I will fire up my daughter's netbook and try it and see what is happening.. Thanks for the info
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Racing19969:
I am really starting to wonder if you know what you are looking for. I just hooked my phone up to the netbook. Windows found the phone, dowloaded all drivers. then I opened a window and it shows internal storage and sdcard. I browsed both with no problems. internal has all my games, alarms, sms, pictures, media folders and such. Shows size of 1.39 gb with 1.05 gb free... external has all my sdcard stuff...
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] woodyjlw:
I am running linux mint and when I am pluged in to usb with TWRP and click mount I got (Use external SD) or (use internal SD) either one I click on and then mount usb storage my linux mint auto opens the 16 gig external not the 1.5. I dont use recovery to transfer files and normally do it in storage mode with whatever rom i am running, currentlly AOKP which sees both. I just wanted to try it too see if I could see both sd in TWRP recover to see if Billa was the only one who noticed. I got 2 random reboots while testing this, lol I am sure your done hearing about the reboots by now... :)

hope i helped

this was a fresh install of TWRP Recovery V2.4 today

thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] billa:
See i'm not the only one who can't browse the internal sd on a computer. It opens 2 drive letters (D and E) but only one of them is browsable with either internal or external SD mounted. I'm running plain stock ICS which I just reflashed from a stock tar and then the twrp and it does freeze/reboot randomly even while it's just sitting there doing no interractions with the screen (Alpha perhaps? hehe) I'm willing to try any new tweaks as it's far superior to cwm.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Racing19969:
Finally figured out what you guy's are talking about... This has been an issue from day one. You are going into recovery and clicking the mount usb tab. It does not work... When a fix is found I will post an update
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] woodyjlw:
yea even with random reboot and not being able to browse internal sd i think its far superior to cwm too.

im sure when he has time to mess with it he will make it even more awesome! no hurry though cause its plenty functional for me as it is. I can access both sd from AOKP.

thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] billa:
The latest cwm v6.0.1.4 has the same sd card issue but it's even worse, neither internal or external show up during usb mount. However it does show both locations during flashing an update.zip

I found a mod on here v6.0.1.5 and it works perfectly during usb mount for both internal and external sd.. Maybe looking at the mechanism how that is accessing it might help with a solution.

For now i'm just switching back and forth, but really would love to use twrp all the time ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] sidneyk:
Actually, I'm using CWM Touch v. 6.0.1.4, downloaded directly from CWM web site and it works like a charm. It can access and flash from either the external sdcard or internal storage fine, I've tested both. Only thing to realize is that it calls the external or removable card 'sdcard' and just calls the non-external or removable 'internal'. I messed up the first time I used it and wiped out my external sdcard thinking it was referring to the internal sdcard as it shows in Android. It also performs backups and restores quite well so far. I haven't tested it's USB mounting. The wiping and formatting seems to work properly also, which is why I was checking it out, as I had an issue with that in this TWRP. This latest version of TWRP here lets you see and access both external and internal, but seems to have a problem with proper wiping and formatting, in my case, somehow leaving a lot of stuff behind. I was also experiencing the random reboots while in recovery as others have stated doing various random things. I'm not putting down the efforts here, just saying that CWM 6.0.1.4 Touch for this device is working for me.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] anactoraaron:
I'm trying to restore a backup and it keeps failing. Getting E:Unable to extract tar archive 'sdcard/TWRP/BACKUP' Worst possible timing...

EDIT: I was able to go back to 2.3.1.1 and it worked. <WHEW!> Guess I will stick with 2.3.1.1 then.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] woodyjlw:
I had to switch back to cwm touch. I could make a backup and name it but could not restore it. It would give an error and reboot before I could read it. I am sure you have your hands full with the new kernel and getting some new ROMs rolling out but soon as you have the time to mess with this more I'll put it back on. Reboots and not able to restore backups are only problems I had. I never used the USB storage mount so can't miss what I didn't need lol.. I either downloaded what I want with my phone or pull SD and pop it into USB adapter and coppied what I want.

If there is a log that you need to see to help find the grimlin I can flash it back and try to pull one. I would need to know how to get it for you if so.

Many thanks :)

Hi all,

My wife has a wildfire s, but she has some problem with her storage. The phone say that she has no memory, but she has a sd card of 16gb.

So, how can I do?

To put my sd card to primary.

Please help. What can I do.

Thanks.
[HTC Wildfire S] crossfire77:
which types of warning she getting?

like wildfire s has low internal memory so she can't install much apps and all apps wont go in external card.
[HTC Wildfire S] R.ThierryHOX:
She get a popup that say "make more space" "move apps to sd card or phone storage" but when she do it, they don't give any apps to move .
[HTC Wildfire S] crossfire77:
they wont move.its just a warning that space is low.

her phone is rooted? if yes then several things you can do to install more apps.

or if not, then you cant do anything.you have to sort out in low space.and she can't install much apps.you can see internal space in settings>applications>manage applications at bottom bar.
[HTC Wildfire S] R.ThierryHOX:
She is not rooted. But i will root it this week.

So can you told me what is those things i can do.

I'll root her wildfire s in some days. So can you told me how can i root it.

And need i to stay on stock rom? What is the best rom or kernel or whatever other things.

Thanks
[HTC Wildfire S] crossfire77:
I am using stock rom too.

There are many roms like cm9 which is ICS build and others are cm10 which are jelly bean builds..

You can find roms on android devlopement thread.

And for internal storage tweak first of all you need to partition your sdcard.

FAT32 :remaining

EXT3/EXT4 : 1 GB ll be enough

LINUX SWAP : 512 MB

linux swap partition isnt madatory except link2sd.but you hv 16 GB memory card so make that partition too.it works as backup RAM.its 512 MB because wildfire s has 512 MB RAM.

ALL PARTITIONS SHOULD BE PRIMARY AND YOU CAN MAKE THEM BY MINIPARTITIONAL TOOL ON WINDOWS.

There are many tweaks for internal memory link2sd,mounts2sd and int2ext+

Best one is int2ext+ but for that you need custom rom with init.d suppport..

Tell me if u need more help.good luck
[HTC Wildfire S] R.ThierryHOX:
Okay thanks. And yes, i'll need your help. (Really need your help). By a step by step, what to do, what to download. just all about that.

And starting by what is the best method you suggest me to root the wildfire s, and what rom you advise me. All the best for it.

Thanks, many thanks.

You are my saviour.
[HTC Wildfire S] crossfire77:
haha.okay man dnt worry.

so for rooting.follow this tutorial:

http://www.htcwildfiresblog.com/2012/03/guide-to-rooting-htc-wildfire-s-235-s.html

in this tutorial first you need to make account from htcdev.com and then follow instructions on that page:

(IN TUTORIAL YOU FIND STEP 1,UPDATE YOUR BOOTLOADER BUT IF YOUR PHONE HAS LATEST UPDATE 2.26 ,THEN YOU DONT NEED TO UPDATE IT.YOU WILL SEE THAT INSTUCTION ON HTCDEV.COM PAGE)

then,

download rom manager from play store and install clockworkmod recovery.( its necessery to flash rom,mods etc)

and most important, after flashing custom recovery(clockworkmod) make backup of your current rom.because if you want to come back to your stock rom,it ll be helpfull.

about roms:

there are stable cm9 as well as cm10 roms.

cm9 is very stable,no major bugs except little lag on camera ( negligible) and camcorder record at 15 fps.

cm10 has some bugs but you can see jellyking rom on android devlopement page.people said its very stable.so you can use it if you want taste of jelly bean.

and there are another option like MIUI which has best UI. and sense 3.5 roms.

thats all.

i am using my stock rom because i like my sense best,stable,not a single bug and works good.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JIBYC:
Hi All,

I've got an stock Unbranded 4.1.2 GT-I9300[T] on Three UK and over the last few days it has been repeatedly freezing. Out of frustration I've done a factory reset and left it with just the stock apps running. From there I've narrowed it down to WiFi, when it's enabled the phone will operate correctly for a few minutes and then it will freeze. When the freeze occurs some animations like the Update icon in the status bar or a Live Wallpaper will continue for a few seconds but the phone remains unresponsive. From there the only way to get it to respond is to do a hard reset by holding down the power button.

I've got a few extra details from the About menu but I'm not sure how much help it'll be:

Baseband Version

I9300XXELLA

Kernal Version

3.0.31-742798

Any assistance you could provide would be appreciated. I've had the phone for 6 months and gone through two OTA updates without significant issue but this bug is causing me more than a few problems.
